The selected font must be installed on your system. This page might not display properly with older versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape. Additionally, Netscape & Firefox may show an unsupported character using a different font to the one selected. Internet Explorer seems to do this too, but to a much lesser extent.

Note that the letters used in column/row headings represent the Unicode designations, not necessarily how the letters would be transcribed using the Latin alphabet.

Notes:

In the 1960s the AI series was dropped for typewriter hardware reasons. With that change AI (U+1401) was written as A + I (U+140A U+1403), PAI (U+142F) became PA + I (U+1438 U+1403), et cetera. The AI series has fairly recently been re-adopted by some, but not all, user communities.

Some sources show RAI with the "handle" on the left, like R-CREE RE (U+1543).

Some sources show the NG series with two small connected circles while others use one small circle and a small connected half-circle.

I am unable to find NNGAI in Unicode. The character looks like NNG + GAI (U+1596 U+1489).

I am unable to find LHAI in Unicode. The character looks like LHA (U+15A4) rotated 180 degrees.

Non-Unicode sources on the Inuktitut syllabary show an isolated "h" as a raised, half-size Latin "H": HI am unable to find this character in Unicode.
